This tea smells fantastic - a bit sour, a bit sweet, bright and citrusy, and slightly floral. It smells like you would expect an Earl Grey to smell, with a bit of added sweetness.

When brewed, this tea is very dark. It looks rather like a cup of coffee. The scent is a bit toned down, but citrus is still definitely detectable. The flavor not as bright and citrusy as I had hoped. It's good, just not as good as I expected. It's a bit bitter, but not in a bad way. The citrus is hard to detect, and the black tea flavor is not as good as many other teas I have tried.

Overall this tea is a good choice if you want a flavored black tea without the caffeine, but it's not my favorite. I give it 8/10.
